About the Book:
Hairstylist Azalea March is looking forward to a wild weekend in Las
Vegas with her friends. Oh, sure, they’re supposed to be there on
business, attending the biggest hair show on the west coast, but that
doesn’t mean they can’t have a little fun.
But fun quickly turns to drama. On the first morning of the show, Dhane, the biggest celeb of the hair-styling world, is found dead. As it turns out Azalea’s friend Vivian not only knew Dhane, but the tale she weaves of how they met is faker than a showgirl’s uh…assets. When Vivian confesses to the murder and is arrested, Azalea knows there’s no way she could have done it and suspects Vivian may be trying to protect someone. But who?
Azalea now has to convince Alex, the sexy detective from her past, to help her prove Vivian’s innocence and comb through clues more twisted than a spiral perm. But the truth is stranger than anything found on the Las Vegas Strip, and proving Vivian’s innocence turns out to be more difficult than transforming a brunette into a blonde.
Dyed and Gone is such a fabulously witty and fun read. Set in the crazy world of Las Vegas at the hair-styling equivalent of the Oscars, our protagonists, Azalea March, her Hair Salon business partner and best friend, Vivian, together with their stylist Juan Carlos are just there to have a good time.......but in cozy mystery land, of course, things never turn out as planned!
The basic premise is that Vivian confesses to killing her friend Dhane, Azalea know she's innocent and determines to prove otherwise whilst finding the real killer. Simple!
Azalea and Juan Carlos' hilarious one-liners had me giggling, the plot was clever but not too complicated to follow, several suspects, red herrings and a romance all made for a fun and entertaining read.
I'm looking forward to following Azalea in her next adventure!

About This Author
Best selling author, Beth Yarnall,
writes romantic suspense, mysteries and the occasional hilarious tweet. A
storyteller since her playground days, Beth remembers her friends
asking her to make up stories of how the person ‘died’ in the slumber
party game Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, so it’s little wonder
she prefers writing stories in which people meet unfortunate ends. In
middle school she discovered romance novels, which inspired her to write
a spoof of soap operas for the school’s newspaper. She hasn’t stopped
writing since.
For a number of years, Beth made her
living as a hairstylist and makeup artist and co-owned a salon. Somehow
hairstylists and salons always seem to find their way into her stories.
Beth lives in Orange County, California with her husband, two sons, and
their rescue dog where she is hard at work on her next novel.
